I need a schedule

Being back in school has eaten a great bit chunk of my "sit around and do stuff all" time. There's HOMEWORK! which I blew off tonight to do some more of the Koala. I'm on a deadline people! Shhhh, don't tell me about the homework deadline which is a lot jolly closer than the Koala's.

Did a bit more

School is sucking away all my time, picture later, phone busted

updated 19/2/2014 8:37pm: picture is crap due to photographer error :P

School's in

Third time's a charm?

Deathly hallows pt2

Such a dark movie, both emotionally and in lighting

TV catch up

Watched 4 episodes of old slicks and specks. Gotta make space on the recording device.

Midday session

The kids are napping after a very active morning so I am stitching.

Back to work

Was working on a bridesmaids dress, so had to take as break.
I'm now worried that the colour I selected to be medium beaver grey is looking a little green.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

So cheery... Not.

Watchin' telly

Had to stop mid colour coz it's bedtime and I'm tired

It begins

This is a koala on a branch, yes it is.

Sorting kit thread is...

Annoying!
You get a bunch of threads and they're all 1 of this colour and 1 of this colour and the colours are 4 shades of grey and 5 shades of green and 3 shades of brown plus 2 shades of off-white. They have handy names like light beaver grey, ecru, fern green, mahogany.
I think I got it right. If I didn't hopefully it looks like I did.
I had to hold off posting this update until I was sure it wasn't linked to google+ since it's going to be a present.

Well, Hip Hip Bloody Hurray!

They're finished! Now I just have to work out how to display them so they're one article for the show.
Had to change glues since the first one I used that promised not to soak into the fabric did not keep its promise.

Last one done

Next, to do the finishing so they can be hung on the tree.

Nearly

Gosh, I forgot how tricky this bit is.

Fiddly

Gah! I keep missing the mark on the gold couching on the ribbon so I'm calling it quits for tonight.

Break time

Started on the detail work. Hands and eyes getting tired and the kids have kindly donated their colds to my cause.

Pausing

To take the kids to the park

CrimeScene

Went to a writer's conference today with hubbie. Interesting.

Waiting for the washing

Nanowrimo
